● Operation
● Note the following when
mowing and mulching
The following instructions help you use the device effec-
tively and safely. Improper handling of the device can
cause damage to it.
- The device can be operated with or without
collecting bag. You should only operate the device
without the collecting bag (mulching) when trim­
ming the lawn just a little shorter (max. 2 cm).
Always keep the discharge flap closed when
mulching.
- Mow slowly and try not to use the entire cutting
width to cut the grass evenly at high rotation speed.
A high cutting load reduces the blade's rotation
speed.

mounds (molehills) before mowing to safeguard the
device.
- Always mow in the direction facing away from the
power supply and the power cable.
